On October 8th at a hotel in Odaiba, Tokyo, a press conference was held for the new TV drama series to begin on October 19th titled '東京DOGS / Tokyo DOGS'. On that day a typhoon had landed and weather conditions were very bad. But Oguri Shun was unfazed. He seemed more excited about playing for the first time a lead role in a 'getsuku' drama. ['Gestsuku; 月9' literally means Mondays from 21:00. It is widely considered the time when the most popular dramas are broadcast.] "I hope the storm will bring in good luck for the drama. I'm going to give the drama all I've got." Oguri plays the role of an elite detective belonging to the NYPD. Costar Mizushima Hiro becomes a police officer who is part of the Special Investigation Team of the Metropolitan Police Department. Together the two men tackle a hard to crack criminal case.
Along with Oguri and Mizushima, Yoshitaka Yuriko also attended the conference. She plays the role of a 'mysterious woman'. Standing beside the two good-looking actors, Yoshitaka made everyone laugh by commenting "I'm beginning to have special feelings for the two. How can I help it?"
Oguri was then asked if he recently had felt any 'special feelings' for somebody. Oguri answered "After filming on location in New York, we got on a plane to go back home. Hiro-kun began sleeping next to me, and when I saw his beautiful face I thought 'I won't mind becoming lovers with Hiro.'" Mizushima quickly responded to Oguri's show of affection by talking about something that happened when the two actors had appeared in the same late-night music program. "When we were waiting back stage for our turn to appear, I told Shun-kun "You don't look like the type that gets nervous." But he answered "Actually, I can't stand these kinds of situations." He looked meek and very cute. He is usually extremely passionate about his work, but the way he acted that day was markedly different. He was really adorable." After hearing Mizushima's comments Oguri quickly shot back "Let's start seeing each other after the whole drama's complete." Oguri seemed very much at ease with his 'partner'!
